Hi Phil Thanks for the reply. However,the set-mote-id script just generates different images with different node IDs, fundamentally it's still a flashing/reflashing mechanism. I would like to avoid it for security reasons, e.g. I don't want to my motes to be flashed by end users except allowing some simple configurations. Is there a way around it?
You mentioned that in tinyOS 2.x, one could modify arbitrary variables, does it still require reflashing? I am not up to date with 2.x development at all. Thanks again for the help, I really appreicate it. -T. -----Original Message----- From: Philip Levis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 24, 2006 1:36 AM To: Liu, Ping (GE, Research) Cc: tinyos-help@Millennium.Berkeley.EDU Subject: Re: [Tinyos-help] RE: Tmote: how to config mote with unique config info without reflashing?

You can use the same basic approach, which is changing a variable in the binary. Take a look at the set-mote-id script. TinyOS 2.x has a more generic version, tos-set-symbols, which allows you to modify arbitrary variables. This is important in 2.x because it supports distinguishing a node's unique ID from its AM address, which will be important once nodes have multiple network interfaces. You could use the 2.x script, which is in tinyos-2.x/tools/tinyos/misc Phil _______________________________________________ Tinyos-help mailing list Tinyos-help@Millennium.Berkeley.EDU https://mail.millennium.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tinyos-help
